The Yellow Fly Agaric is the same size as the normal Fly Agaric, which is a medium to big mushroom. It can be 25 to 40 cm (10 to 17 inches) tall, and the cap is also quite big.
How big is a yellow fly agaric?
I don't kow... look at the base of the stem, where the bulbous part is and chek to see if it's scally. The size is a good indicator aswell: if it's a small mushroom I would say it's A. Frostiana, if not, then it's the Yellow Fly Agaric.
Could it be an Amanita frostiana?
Thank you very much! I'll look into that some more.
This looks like an Amanita sp. Could be A. Gemata or A. Muscaria var. Guessowii (Yellow Fly Agaric).
